Found Film: Television

<p>So I bought a mystery roll of exposed 120 film at the dollar table at the PHSNE show in Wakefield, MA yesterday. What showed was shiny black, with no lettering, and I couldn't figure out what film used that color scheme. When I cut the seal to be ready to load it, I realized what was up. It was wound inside-out! That left a risk that it wasn't exposed. But, it was Royal-X, and I was curious how it does with respect to base fog. So I developed it in HC-110(B) for 10 minutes, which is the book time for Royal-X. (That's a <em>long</em> time in HC-110 dilution B!) I also tucked in most of a sheet of 4x5 Plus-X professional that I got in an open box at the dollar table, to see if it was light-struck.)<br>

I wanted to roll it emulsion-in on a Nikor reel, but it wasn't having any of that. So I rolled it emulsion out.<br>

When I pulled it out of the soup, there was one exposure used, a 6x9 shot of a television screen. Base fog is pretty steep, measured at 0.9.<br>

The Plus-X, despite being from the 1970's, looks pretty decent, base fog about 0.35, and that's with double the normal developing time! Thankfully it's not light struck, although at least this sheet (was facing the cardboard) is slightly mottled.<br>

So here's the picture, anyone want to guess who's on the TV?</p>

<div></div>

<p>Doris Day? She had her own TV show from 1968-73.</p>

<p>How do you know it was from the 70's? The tv screen looks older than that, like from the 50's. </p>

<p>Her(?) mouth looks like Elvis Presley's. But her's(?) is a face only a mother could love. My guess is Milton Berle.</p>

<p>Peter</p>

<p>The Plus-X is in a dated 4x5 film box. There's no physical date hint on the Royal-X this shot is from. So it could easily be 1960's.</p>

 

Dinah Shore.

<p>+1 for Uncle Miltie</p>

 

<p>Her décolletage doesn't look like Berle; Dinah Shore seems a better bet to me. Her TV show ran from 1951-8.</p>

<p>Based on that photo it could also be from The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits.</p>

<p>CHEERS...Mathew</p>

<p>The more I look at it, the more it looks as if she's not wearing a top. Were there any porn channels in the 1950's?</p>

<p>Looks like a <a href="

<p>Lex, such an awesome movie. "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @$$......and I'm all out of bubblegum."</p>

<p>Looks topless to me too....did Doris Day go topless at all?</p>

Dinah Shore seems logical.. the topless comment is fitting...but we can't help seeing that!! Did Milton Berle dress as a woman ever? Comedians often do!

<p>It's Dinah Shore.</p>

<p> I think it's a man. I vote for Jack Lalain or Max Baer.</p>
